Good basic mates article, but pls convert the 3rd diagram to a puzzle like the rest of them, demonstrating all the moves in Blackburne's mate. I didn't quite "get it" from just reading your description.

This is good stuff for beginners to learn and everyone else to know. Never underestimate the power of pattern recognition in chess!
